That is, the voltage detection wire 21 and the power cable 25 are routed in the reverse directions. Therefore, in order to connect the terminal of the power cable 25 to the second busbar 15 mounted to the second enclosure wall 31 positioned so that the voltage detection wire 21 is arranged between the second enclosure wall 31 and the power cable 25, the connection terminal 23 connected to the terminal of the power cable 25 has to be arranged to intersect the wiring path 33.

- the voltage detection wires 21 accommodated in the wiring path 33 are guided in a direction further away from the side wall 47a by the first rib 63a before reaching an area intersecting the cover member 43 of the wiring path 33, are subsequently guided by the second rib 63b in the area intersecting the cover member 43 of the wiring path 33, and are routed in a state of having a predetermined interval from the side wall 47a. Therefore, when the cover member 43 is folded back, the voltage detection wires 21 are reliably prevented from being caught between the side wall 47a of the wiring path 33 and the cover member 43.
- a groove 65 into which a lock pin 57 of the cover member 43 is inserted is provided so as to communicate with the wiring path 33 ( Fig. 6 ).

- the side surface of the lock pin 57 that faces the wiring path 33 when the cover member 43 is bent is provided with an inclined surface 67.
- the inclined surface 67 is formed so that the cross-section of the lock pin 57 that is orthogonal to the insertion direction of the lock pin 57 is increased toward the base end side of the lock pin 57, that is, the base end side thereof widens toward the wiring path 33 when the lock pin 57 is inserted into the groove 65.
- a voltage detection wire 21 b protruding in the vicinity of the groove 65 may be pushed back into the wiring path 33 along the inclined surface 67, so that the voltage detection wire 21b may be prevented from being caught between the lock pin 57 and the groove 65.

Description
- The present invention relates to a busbar module unit which connects a plurality of batteries in series.
- For example, in PTL (Patent Literature) 1, a technique of using a battery module which connects a plurality of batteries in series as a power supply of an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or the like is disclosed. In the battery module, a busbar module made of a resin, which is formed by retaining a plurality of first busbars that connect the positive electrode and the negative electrode of adjacent batteries, and a second busbar which is connected to both of the total positive electrode and the total negative electrode of a battery module is mounted.
-
Fig. 11 illustrates abusbar module unit 51 disclosed inPTL 1. Thebusbar module structure 51 includes a plurality offirst busbars 53 that connect the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes of adjacent batteries (not shown), second busbars 55 (only one is illustrated) respectively connected to the total positive electrode and the total negative electrode of the battery module unit, awiring path 57 that accommodates a plurality of voltage detection wires (not shown) connected to the plurality offirst busbars 53 and thesecond busbars 55, apower cable 61 that is connected via thesecond busbar 55 and aconnection terminal 59, and abusbar module 63 made of a resin. Thewiring path 57 is formed along the longitudinal direction of thebusbar module 63. - The
first busbars 53 are fitted in a plurality offirst enclosure walls 67 connected to one another viahinges 65 so as to be retained therein. Thesecond busbars 55 are respectively fitted in second enclosure walls 69 (only one is illustrated) provided at one end and the other end of thebusbar module unit 51 along with theconnection terminals 59 so as to be retained therein. All thehinges 65, thefirst enclosure walls 67, and thesecond enclosure walls 69 are integrally formed with thebusbar module 63. The voltage detection wires are accommodated and routed in thewiring path 57, and thepower cable 61 is held by a plurality ofhooks 71 so as to be routed. That is, thepower cable 61 and the voltage detection wires are routed in the same direction as the longitudinal direction (the right direction ofFig. 11 ) of thebusbar module unit 51. - [PTL 1]
JP-A-2004-98295 - However, in the structure of the busbar module unit, as in
PTL 1, without the limitation to the structure in which thepower cable 61 and the voltage detection wires are routed in the same direction, a structure in which the power cable and the voltage detection wires are routed in the opposite directions may be considered. In this case, for example, a structure may occur in which at least one connection terminal of the connection terminals of the power cable installed on both end sides in the longitudinal direction of the busbar module intersects the voltage detection wires. - In the case where the contact terminal and the voltage detection wires intersect to each other, if vibration is transmitted from the outside in a state where the voltage detection wires come in contact with the connection terminal, there is a concern that the sheath of the voltage detection wires may be worn and the conductor thereof may be exposed. In order to avoid this situation, for example, a case may be considered in which an accommodation part (corresponding to the
second enclosure wall 69 ofFig. 11 ) that accommodates the connection terminals is formed to extend over the wiring path of the voltage detection wires. However, such structure is complex, and thus it becomes difficult to form the structure in one body through injection molding or the like. In addition, even though such a structure is formed, there is a problem in that the size of the busbar module increases. - An object of the present disclosure is to avoid contact between a voltage detection wire and a connection terminal of a power cable while suppressing the complexity of a structure of the busbar module unit.
- In order to accomplish the object, according to the present disclosure, there is provided a busbar module unit comprising:
- a plurality of first conductors that connect positive electrodes and negative electrodes of the adjacent batteries of a plurality of batteries connected in series;
- two second conductors respectively connected to a total positive electrode and a total negative electrode of a battery module constituted by the plurality of batteries;
- a busbar module that is made of a resin and retains the plurality of first conductors and the two second conductor in accordance with an arrangement of the batteries;
- a wiring path that accommodates a plurality of voltage detection wires respectively connected to the plurality of first conductors; and
- a terminal accommodating portion that accommodates connection terminals of a power cable respectively connected to the two second conductors; and
- a cover member that is connected to the busbar module via a hinge portion,
- wherein the wiring path is integrally formed with the busbar module;
- wherein the terminal accommodating portion is integrally formed with the cover member;
- wherein the wiring path is arranged so as to intersect at least one of the connection terminals of the power cable;
- wherein the cover member has a first face and a second face opposite to the first face;
- wherein the first face of the cover member opposes the wiring path to cover the wiring path when the cover member is folded back with respect to the wiring path via the hinge portion; and
- wherein the terminal accommodating portion is formed on the second face.
- According to this configuration, as the connection terminal is provided in the terminal accommodating portion of the folded-back cover member, the cover member may be interposed between the connection terminal and the voltage detection wires. Therefore, the contact between the connection terminal and the voltage detection wires is avoided, thereby preventing the wear of the sheaths of the voltage detection wires. In addition, as the cover member is provided to extend in a direction in the plane of the busbar module, the complexity of the structure of the busbar module may be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to form the cover member integrally with the busbar module through molding. Moreover, even though the surface of the folded-back cover member on the side opposing the wiring path is arranged to be pressed against the wiring path, wear of the sheaths of the voltage detection wires does not occur. Therefore, an unnecessary gap between the folded-back cover member and the busbar module may not be needed, and an increase in the size of the busbar module may be suppressed.
- For example, the wiring path is provided with a rib which guides the voltage detection wires.
- Accordingly, the voltage detection wires accommodated in the wiring path may be brought close to a predetermined direction, for example, the inside of the wiring path from the side edge of the wiring path by the rib. Therefore, the voltage detection wires may be prevented from being caught between the side edge of the wiring path and the cover member when the cover member is folded back.
- For example, a side edge portion of the wiring path is provided with a groove communicating with the wiring path, a protrusion that is inserted and retained in the groove is provided on the first face of the cover member, and an inclined surface is formed on a side surface of the protrusion facing the wiring path so that the cross-section of the protrusion is increased from an apex side toward a base end side of the protrusion.
- Accordingly, when the protrusion of the cover member is inserted into the groove, the voltage detection wires positioned in the vicinity of the groove may be moved in a direction further away from the groove along the inclined surface of the protrusion, so that the voltage detection wires may be prevented from being caught on the locking protrusion.
- According to the present disclosure, a contact between the voltage detection wires and the connection terminal of the power cable may be avoided while suppressing the complexity of the structure.

Fig. 11 is a diagram illustrating a busbar module unit according to a related art. - Hereinafter, an embodiment of a busbar module unit according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
- Initially, for facilitating the description of the busbar module unit of the present disclosure, the configuration of a battery module to which the busbar module unit is mounted will be described with reference to
Fig. 10 . - A
battery module 1 is configured to include two opposingelectrode surfaces 5 of each of a plurality of batteries 3 formed as rectangular parallelepipeds so that the electrode surfaces 5 are in the same direction. Apositive electrode 7 and anegative electrode 9, each of which has a cylindrical shape, protrude from the electrode surfaces of each of the batteries 3 so that thepositive electrode 7 and thenegative electrode 9 are alternately arranged at the adjacent batteries 3. In thebattery module 1, the electrodes of the batteries 3 positioned at both ends of the plurality of batteries 3 connected in series serve as total electrodes. For example, in the case where an even number of batteries 3 are connected in series, the positive electrode of the battery 3 at one end serves as the total positive electrode, and the negative electrode of the battery at the other end serves as the total negative electrode. In this embodiment, thebattery module 1 in which an even number of batteries 3 are connected in series is exemplified. - As illustrated in
Figs. 1 and2 , abusbar module unit 11 includes a plurality offirst busbars 13 that connect thepositive electrodes 7 and thenegative electrodes 9 of the adjacent batteries 3 of thebattery module 1, twosecond busbars 15 that are respectively connected to the total positive electrode and the total negative electrode of the batteries 3 at both ends of thebattery module 1, abusbar module 17 made of a resin, which retains thefirst busbars 13 and thesecond busbars 15, a plurality ofvoltage detection wires 21 which are connected to all thefirst busbars 13 and thesecond busbars 15 via correspondingterminals 19 for voltage detection, and apower cable 25 that is connected to thesecond busbars 15 via respective connection terminals 23 (LA terminals: ring terminals). InFig. 1 , theconnection terminals 23 are omitted due to illustrate a rear face of acover member 43. - The
first busbars 13 are respectively fitted and retained in a plurality offirst enclosure walls 29 which are connected to one another viaconnection portions 27. Thesecond busbars 15 are respectively fitted and retained insecond enclosure walls 31 which are respectively provided at both ends of thebusbar module 17. All theconnection portions 27, thefirst enclosure walls 29, and thesecond enclosure walls 31 are integrally formed with thebusbar module 17. In addition, although one of thesecond enclosure walls 31 is illustrated, the othersecond enclosure wall 31 has the same structure, so that description thereof will be omitted. - The
voltage detection wires 21 are accommodated and routed in awiring path 33 formed along the longitudinal direction of thebusbar module 17. Thepower cable 25 is held by a plurality ofhooks 35 formed in thebusbar module 17 and is routed in the longitudinal direction of thebusbar module 17. - Each of the busbars is a conductor, for example, a plate-like member made of copper, the
first busbar 13 is provided with two holes respectively passing through the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and thesecond busbar 15 is provided with a single hole passing through the total positive electrode or the total negative electrode. One of the holes of thefirst busbar 13 and the hole of thesecond busbar 15 are arranged to overlap the hole of the terminal 19 for voltage detection, which is made of a conductor, for example, a plate-like member made of copper. The terminal 19 for voltage detection is provided with a crimping portion (not shown), and thevoltage detection wire 21 of which the core wire is exposed by peeling off the insulating sheath is connected to the crimping portion. Thevoltage detection wire 21 is connected to a voltage detector (not shown) to detect the voltage of each of the batteries 3. - In the
busbar module 17, two holes through which thepositive electrode 7 and thenegative electrode 9 of each of the batteries 3 of thebattery module 1 are inserted are provided in each of the plurality offirst enclosure walls 29. A single hole through which the total positive electrode or the total negative electrode of thebattery module 1 is inserted is provided in each of thesecond enclosure walls 31 at both the ends. The entire size of thebusbar module 17 is formed so as to have a size corresponding to the electrode surfaces 5 of thebattery module 1. - When the
busbar module unit 11 configured as described above is mounted to thebattery module 1, thepositive electrode 7 and thenegative electrode 9 of the battery 3 inserted through the two holes of thefirst enclosure wall 29 are inserted through the two holes of thefirst busbar 13, and one of the electrodes is fastened by, for example, a nut in a state of being inserted through the single hole of the terminal 19 for voltage detection. On the other hand, the total positive electrode or the total negative electrode inserted through the hole of thesecond enclosure wall 31 is fastened by, for example, a nut in a state of being inserted through the holes of thesecond busbar 15, the terminal 19 for voltage detection, and theconnection terminal 23. - The
wiring path 33 of thebusbar module 17 is formed in a tubular shape by folding back acover 39 extending in the lateral direction (the vertical direction inFig. 1 ) of thebusbar module 17. As illustrated inFig. 2 , at the front end of thecover 39, a protrusion 41, which is locked by thebusbar module 17 in a state where thecover 39 is folded back is provided. As thecover 39 is folded back in the state where thevoltage detection wires 21 are accommodated in thewiring path 33 and the protrusion 41 is inserted into a locking groove (not shown) so as to be locked, thevoltage detection wires 21 are in a state of being protected in thewiring path 33. Thepower cable 25 is routed on the opposite side to thefirst enclosure walls 29 and thesecond enclosure walls 31 with thewiring path 33 interposed therebetween. - In this embodiment, the
voltage detection wires 21 accommodated in thewiring path 33 are routed toward one side in the longitudinal direction of the busbar module 17 (to the right side inFig. 1 ), whereas thepower cable 25 is routed toward the other side in the longitudinal direction of the busbar module 17 (to the left side inFig. 1 ). That is, thevoltage detection wire 21 and thepower cable 25 are routed in the reverse directions. Therefore, in order to connect the terminal of thepower cable 25 to thesecond busbar 15 mounted to thesecond enclosure wall 31 positioned so that thevoltage detection wire 21 is arranged between thesecond enclosure wall 31 and thepower cable 25, theconnection terminal 23 connected to the terminal of thepower cable 25 has to be arranged to intersect thewiring path 33. In this case, as vibration is transmitted from the outside in the state where thevoltage detection wires 21 accommodated in thewiring path 33 come in contact with theconnection terminal 23, there is a concern that the sheath of thevoltage detection wires 21 may be worn and the conductor thereof may be exposed. The structure in which theconnection terminal 23 intersects thewiring path 33 as such may occur at at least one point (one point in the example ofFig. 1 ) in thebusbar module unit 11. However, depending on the structure of thebattery module 1, the structure occurs at two points. - Here, the features and the configurations of this embodiment will be described with reference to
Figs. 3 to 5 . - As illustrated in
Fig. 3 , in this embodiment, thecover member 43 is provided to extend in the lateral direction of thebusbar module 17, that is, in the direction in which thesecond enclosure wall 31 intersects thewiring path 33. Thecover member 43 is integrally formed with thebusbar module 17, and is bendable in a direction of the arrow inFig. 3 via hinges (hinge portions) 45. Thecover member 43 intersects thewiring path 33 while covering a part of thewiring path 33 when thecover member 43 is folded back via the hinges 45. That is, the folded-back cover member 43 abuts the end surfaces of twoside walls 47 forming thewiring path 33. -
Fig. 4 illustrates the rear side of thecover member 43 ofFig. 3 . The rear face (second face) of the rear side of thecover member 43 is positioned on the opposite side of a front face (second face) on a side opposing thewiring path 33 when thecover member 43 is folded back. Aterminal accommodating portion 49 for accommodating theconnection terminal 23 is formed on the rear face. Theterminal accommodating portion 49 is configured by twoside walls side walls Fig. 3 , on the rear side of theterminal accommodating portion 49, two lock pins 57 which are inserted into grooves (not shown) provided on the inside of thesecond enclosure wall 31 are provided to stand erect. The lock pins 57 are inserted and locked in the grooves. - Next, operations of assembling the
busbar module unit 11 configured as described above will be described. - First, the
first busbars 13 and thesecond busbars 15 are accommodated in and fixed to thefirst enclosure walls 29 and thesecond enclosure walls 31 of thebusbar module 17, respectively. Here, thefirst busbars 13 and thesecond busbars 15 may be integrally formed with thebusbar module 17. Subsequently, theterminals 19 for voltage detection in which thevoltage detection wires 21 are crimped in advance are caused to overlap the corresponding busbars to be accommodated in thefirst enclosure walls 29 and thesecond enclosure walls 31. In addition, thevoltage detection wires 21 connected to each of theterminals 19 for voltage detection are routed while being accommodated in thewiring path 33 and are drawn to the outside of thebusbar module 17 from a drawing portion of thewiring path 33. After thevoltage detection wires 21 are drawn to the outside, thecover 39 is folded back so as to be fixed. - Next, the
cover member 43 is folded back via thehinges 45, and the two lock pins 57 are inserted and locked in the corresponding grooves, thereby fixing thecover member 43. Subsequently, as illustrated inFig. 5 , the L-shapedconnection terminal 23 to which the terminal of thepower cable 25 is crimped in advance is mounted to the groove portion of theterminal accommodating portion 49. Here, as theconnection terminal 23 is accommodated in the groove portion, ahole 59 formed on the front end side overlaps the holes of thesecond busbar 15 and the terminal 19 for voltage detection, which are accommodated in thesecond enclosure wall 31 in advance. As theconnection terminal 23 is pressed againstprotrusions 61 respectively formed on the inner walls of the twoside walls connection terminal 23 is fixed in a state of being positioned in the terminal'accommodating portion 49. Subsequently, thepower cable 25 is fixed to the plurality ofhooks 35 so as to be supported in the routing direction. - As illustrated in
Fig. 5 , theconnection terminal 23 according to this embodiment is formed in L shape, and is formed to be bent in, for example, a hook shape toward the front end side where thehole 59 is formed. That is, one end side of theconnection terminal 23 is connected to the total electrode of the battery 3 at thesecond enclosure wall 31, and the other end side thereof is in a state of being accommodated in the groove portion of theterminal accommodating portion 49 disposed by covering the twoside walls 47 of thewiring path 33. - As described above, as the
connection terminal 23 is accommodated and retained in the groove portion of theterminal accommodating portion 49 formed in the folded-back cover member 43, thecover member 43 is interposed between theconnection terminal 23 and thevoltage detection wire 21, so that the contact between the intersectingconnection terminal 23 and thevoltage detection wire 21 is reliably avoided and thus the wear of the sheath of thevoltage detection wire 21 may be prevented. In addition, thecover member 43 is extend in a plane direction, that is, the lateral direction of thebusbar module 17 rather than the thickness direction of thebusbar module 17, so that thebusbar module 17 may be suppressed from becoming complex and being increased in size. Moreover, it is possible to integrally form thecover member 43 with thebusbar module 17. - Next, an example of the specific structure of the inside of the
wiring path 33 where thevoltage detection wires 21 are accommodated will be described with reference toFigs. 6 and7 . - As illustrated in
Fig. 6 , the plurality ofvoltage detection wires 21 are accommodated in thewiring path 33 with a high wire occupancy ratio. Therefore, when thecover member 43 is folded back in a state where a part of avoltage detection wire 21a protrudes in the vicinity of the side edge where thewiring path 33 opens, there is a concern that thevoltage detection wire 21 may be caught between aside wall 47a of thewiring path 33 and the cover member 43 (the portion A ofFig. 6 ). In this case, not only thevoltage detection wires 21 are damaged, but also thevoltage detection wires 21 have to be pushed into thewiring path 33 every time. Therefore, the burden during assembly is increased. - However, according to this embodiment, as illustrated in
Fig. 7 , arib 63 that guides thevoltage detection wires 21 to a desired position is provided in at least one of the bottom surface of thewiring path 33 and theside wall 47. The mounted position, the shape, and the number ofribs 63 are not limited as long as theribs 63 can keep thevoltage detection wires 21 distant from the vicinity of theside wall 47a of thewiring path 33 in which thevoltage detection wires 21 are easily caught. - In
Fig. 7 , tworibs wiring path 33 are erected from the bottom surface of thewiring path 33 at a position in the vicinity of theside wall 47a close to thehinge 45 so that thevoltage detection wires 21 are routed to be distant from the vicinity of theside wall 47a (the portion B ofFig. 7 ) close to thehinge 45 of thecover member 43 at the position where thewiring path 33 and thecover member 43 intersect each other. Accordingly, thevoltage detection wires 21 accommodated in thewiring path 33 are guided in a direction further away from theside wall 47a by thefirst rib 63a before reaching an area intersecting thecover member 43 of thewiring path 33, are subsequently guided by thesecond rib 63b in the area intersecting thecover member 43 of thewiring path 33, and are routed in a state of having a predetermined interval from theside wall 47a. Therefore, when thecover member 43 is folded back, thevoltage detection wires 21 are reliably prevented from being caught between theside wall 47a of thewiring path 33 and thecover member 43. - On the other hand, in the vicinity (the portion C of
Fig. 7 ) of aside wall 47b opposing theside wall 47a close to thehinge 45 at the position where thewiring path 33 and thecover member 43 intersect each other, agroove 65 into which alock pin 57 of thecover member 43 is inserted is provided so as to communicate with the wiring path 33 (Fig. 6 ). There is a concern that, when thelock pin 57 is inserted into thegroove 65, thevoltage detection wire 21 protruding from thewiring path 33 may be caught between thelock pin 57 and thegroove 65. - However, in this embodiment, as illustrated in
Fig. 6 , the side surface of thelock pin 57 that faces thewiring path 33 when thecover member 43 is bent is provided with aninclined surface 67. As illustrated inFig. 8 , theinclined surface 67 is formed so that the cross-section of thelock pin 57 that is orthogonal to the insertion direction of thelock pin 57 is increased toward the base end side of thelock pin 57, that is, the base end side thereof widens toward thewiring path 33 when thelock pin 57 is inserted into thegroove 65. By this configuration, as illustrated inFig. 9 , in the case where thecover member 43 is folded back and thelock pin 57 is inserted into thegroove 65, avoltage detection wire 21 b protruding in the vicinity of thegroove 65 may be pushed back into thewiring path 33 along theinclined surface 67, so that thevoltage detection wire 21b may be prevented from being caught between thelock pin 57 and thegroove 65. - The present application is based on Japanese Patent Application No.
2011-138188 filed on June 22, 2011 - By the above configuration, the contact between the voltage detection wires and the connection terminal of the power cable can be avoided while suppressing the complexity of a structure of the busbar module unit.
